Default Risesoon/Skymarks 1:100 Continental 737-800

AirplaneSuperstore.com shows a Skymarks 1:100 Continental 737-800 available for pre-order! Judging by the price ($89.95) and the fact that it includes gear and a wood stand, I assume this will be one of the highly detailed models like the Alaska and China 738s recently released by Risesoon. Crownvic or anyone else, can you confirm this? Any idea when they will be available?

The RS China and Alaska 738s look superb. I'll definitely be getting the CO, I just hope the blue isn't too light like it is on all the other (crappy) Skymarks CO models.

Yes, it is! And there are more to follow...like the AA B737-800(WL). And I heard the CI B738 is already sold-out!!! The AS 75th Ann. model looks superb too!

Do you have the Continental already? Do you know when it's going to be available to the rest of us?

Gotchya.

Man I can't wait to see the CO 738. At this scale and with a wood stand, she'll make a nice centerpiece for my display.

No doubt about it, Mike!!! You won't regret getting it, I can guarantee you that - I have seen models of other liveries and all of them are excellent piece of work!!!

The word is that Continental has not received the sample model yet. According to the distributor for Skymarks the CO 737 is at least 3-4 months out at this time...Sorry!

Ah ok, I can wait. Got a lot of models on my list right now anyway. Thanks for the info crownvic. Can you confirm that the Continental model is a definite go, or is it doomed to be one of those "coming soon" models that never sees the light of day?
